A 77-year-old man was killed Saturday morning in a two-vehicle collision on Nova Scotia Highway 101 involving a tractor trailer.
In a release, Nova Scotia RCMP said that police, fire, and EHS services responded to a report of a two-vehicle collision in the area of Wolfville Ridge at about 10:25 a.m., near exit 11 on the highway.
“The driver and lone occupant of the GMC, a 77-year-old Delhaven man, suffered life threatening injuries,” police said in a statement.
